Your wedding day will move fast and the moments that matter most will happen when no one's looking. That's exactly what I'm there for. With 400+ weddings behind me, I've spent years perfecting the art of capturing the real thing: the laugh you didn't know was caught, the tear your dad tried to hide, the quiet moment between just the two of you. Based at the edge of the Adirondacks, I'll follow your story wherever it takes us across New York State and Vermont, wherever your day unfolds.

Erin has a calming presence while being extremely organized and professional. I found all of this to be exactly what I needed the day of my wedding. With his years of experience I trusted any ideas he had. In my opinion, his photos speak for themselves. I love the natural look of his pictures without being over edited. He was truly able to capture our personalities in our pictures and I love them all.

Fairytale Dreams Photography

  • Serves Helena, NY

Photography for people who dread being photographed. With 15+ years specializing in camera-shy couples, I've learned that your wedding is not a generic fantasy from the interne, it's a legacy. The industry pushes couples to perform for the camera, but when you already feel awkward being photographed, that pressure can erase the real, unscripted story of your people. My approach is built for humans who hate being photographed. I create an experience that melts stiffness and anxiety so the raw, honest truth of your connection shows up and the story of everyone who matters is protected.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the amazing opportunity to work alongside Cass as a videographer at a backyard wedding on Lyon Mountain back in August. She was incredibly chill, so kind, and was extremely respectful of what I was trying to capture from the day too. Unprecedented to any photographer I have worked with in the past, she allowed me exclusive time with the bride and groom to get more of the movement shots I was looking for and I was able to get! Never have I ever had a photographer give me the opportunity to work one on one with the couple. Hire her for your wedding, you'll get STUNNING photos and she's a blast to work with!

I’m Donna Marie—the introverted, hella awkward + nerdy, all about the vibes and adventure(ish) soul that you can typically find behind the camera (rather than in front of it). I'm here to serve + empower all the introverted, awkward in-front-of-the-lens, adventure(ish) couples who want to have an authentic, non-traditional wedding experience across upstate and northern New York. What matters most are the emotions you experience as your wedding day unfolds. Whether that be in a place with easy to reach epic views, or any place or location that embodies who you are. I’m your go-to gal when you decide to take control of your wedding day.

Hiring Donna was the best wedding decision we made! She's insanely talented, works at a ridiculously fast pace, and was so dialed in on the day, getting every important shot, that you'd think we had 2 photographers by looking at our gallery. As if that wasn't enough already, she's incredibly supportive of her couples by being queer-inclusive and super accommodating. She was such a hit at our wedding that two guests are already determined to hire Donna for their own weddings (copycats!).

Jeremy and Jennifer are a husband and wife team! With 3:17 Photography you get two photographers to capture your day!! What is better than two people in love capturing your once in a lifetime moments? Your wedding means so much to us and we want to make your day perfect from beginning to end!!! When we started our company we promised that we would always charge what we could of afforded when we got married. We feel as though so many couples are being taken advantage of by other companies.

From the moment we booked 3:17 Photography, Jen was available to talk to us anytime we had questions or concerns. Their communication style was fantastic - we always felt well-informed and supported throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, the two photographers were incredible, capturing all the special moments from start to finish. The value was amazing, and having two shooters with us all day ensured we got comprehensive coverage. They were great at organizing all of our photos and found really special places for us to take pictures that turned out beautifully. We even got our sneak peeks back the day after our wedding! I cannot recommend 3:17 Photography enough - they were amazing and contributed so much to making our special day perfect.

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
Christopher was SO much fun to work with throughout the entire process. From the engagement photos, the rehearsal dinner to the wedding itself, Christopher was there finding the best shots. His demeanor and communication style put us at ease and actually made the process fun! The quality (and quantity!) of the team's work was impressive and they managed to capture the most memorable and funny moments that we still get to relive to this day. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

Portraits by Sean was truly a blessing from the Lord for our wedding! Sean was professional, proactive, and communicative from the start, and approached our day with such care, kindness, and intentionality—it was clear he sees his work as a calling, not just a job. He’s not just a photographer—he’s a storytelling artist. He beautifully captured the love, joy, and sacredness of what God was doing in our covenant, and how special it was to share that day with our loved ones. His photos bring those moments back so vividly. He was flexible, kind, and truly a joy to work with. The quality of his work is unmatched—truly high-caliber.

My husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

Lacie was the absolute kindest, most sincere and down-to-earth photographer I've ever met! She was thorough with all of her questions, and made sure that we were all on the same understanding of how her process worked. During our engagement photos, she made us feel comfortable, and we could be our goofy selves, which made the photos feel so much more real, rather than posed. She is a natural and would make anyone feel beautiful/handsome! Our wedding photos still make me tear up! They are so beautiful, and she and her sister did the most amazing job! I can't believe how amazing she was with giving us time, and making sure that we got all the photos we had wanted and then some. We were so incredibly lucky to have her as our photographer and will be using her again in the future 3

From the moment we met Eddie we knew we were in the best hands. As a bride, you dream of your wedding day being captured in a way that reflects all the emotion, beauty, and magic—and he absolutely exceeded every expectation. Eddie has an unbelievable eye for detail and such a calm, comforting presence that made us feel completely at ease from start to finish. Not only did he capture the big moments but also caught so many of the in-between memories: the tearful glances, the laughter with friends, and those little moments that made the day so special. Our photos are stunning—like something out of a dream. Every time we look through them, we’re transported right back to that day. We’ll cherish these images for the rest of our lives. If you’re looking for someone who is not only insanely talented but also kind, professional, and an absolute joy to have around on your wedding day, look no further. We are forever grateful to Eddie for giving us the gift of such beautiful memories.

Honest, artful imagery that tells your story exactly as it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Dani, the experience of working with her, and the quality of her photos! We were very overwhelmed at the start of the planning process because we knew we didn’t want traditional wedding photos- both in style and in the time commitment for our day. We wanted to spend the entire day with our guests and each other, not an hour doing portraits and group photos. We also did not want thousands of photos back that we would never do anything with. We just wanted a few hundred high quality photos we loved. Dani was so understanding and innovative in coming up with a customized plan for us! She shot our wedding “documentary style” and ENTIRELY ON FILM!! She captured mostly unposed action shots, while still paying attention to the few specific shots we wanted. We spent no more than 15 minutes actually doing portraits and family photos (which all came out perfectly), and the rest of the wedding, Dani was somehow completely unobtrusive but still captured everything we wanted - the unadulterated energy and vibe of our day! It was so impressive and I’m sure extremely difficult for her; we were so appreciative that she came up with the creative plan for us and executed it so perfectly! She used 3 or 4 different styles of film camera AND A DRONE, and the resulting photos were everything we could want: romantic, classic, naturally lit, warm, sweeping, authentic, lush, energized and FUN! We love every photo and we loved even more the way she fit seamlessly into our day. She was also fantastic to communicate with; multiple meetings, clear emails, understanding, personal and kind. We would book her again in a heartbeat and everyone who sees the photos of our day asks us how we found someone so unworthy and talented! Thank you Dani!!!

Thalia is truly exceptional -- not only is she an extremely talented photographer, but she is incredibly easy and fun to work with. She is artistic, organized, leads an amazing team, and could not have made us felt more at ease during our wedding. We were absolutely blown away looking through our wedding album. Thalia and her team managed to capture every single emotion we felt throughout the weekend, in a way that transported us back to each moment. One of the defining moments of our wedding was when it started to rain during the ceremony - it was unexpected, joyful chaos, and made for one of the most special parts of the weekend. Thalia somehow managed to run in front of my husband and I as we were sprinting, smiles on our faces, back to the barn with our guests to wait out the rain. That single moment must have been so difficult to capture, but is one of the most incredible photos in the album. My husband and I didn't end up doing an engagement photoshoot, so our wedding was the first time we were formally in front of a camera. Thalia offered clear but gentle direction that made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, helped us lean into the moment, and made us feel just like ourselves. We got rave reviews from our wedding party, family, and friends about Thalia and her team - she felt like part of our friend group throughout the weekend. Her energy, artistic talent, optimism, and enthusiasm is unmatched. We can't imagine anyone else capturing our wedding weekend. We absolutely love Thalia and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to hire a fantastic wedding photographer!

As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story. I aim to capture the little details and authentic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

From our very first email exchange to the moment we received our photos, every step of working with Rich was an incredible experience. He always responded quickly, answered every question with patience, and offered thoughtful suggestions I hadn’t even considered. His preparation before the wedding gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly, and it truly did. Richard was exceptionally professional, respectful, kind, and understanding. On our wedding day, he brought a sense of calm amid the chaos. He blended seamlessly into the flow of events—always present when needed, but never intrusive—and coordinated effortlessly with our families, bridal party, and other vendors. He was also incredibly organized with the shots we needed, keeping us on track without ever making us feel rushed. Richard delivered our full gallery exactly one month after our wedding and just before Thanksgiving so we could share the photos with our families over the holiday. It meant so much to us and we were thrilled to receive our pictures so quickly. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving the entire day, moment by moment. He captured the vibe and essence of our wedding perfectly. I especially appreciated his ideas and direction, and his artistic eye genuinely blew us away. He noticed angles, lighting, and emotional moments, capturing everything from the big highlights to the smallest in-between moments. The pictures he took of us, our families, and our venue were stunning—so much so that multiple friends texted us saying the photos looked like they belonged in Vogue. That is entirely to Richard’s credit. Choosing Richard as our wedding photographer was, without question, one of the best decisions I made in the entire wedding process. I am endlessly grateful to have these photos to cherish forever. Choose Rich as your wedding photographer - you will not regret it!!!!

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

We used Emma Cleary Photography for our October wedding in New Hope PA and are BEYOND thrilled with the results!! The whole team was so easy to work with, and they made sure that we got everything we wanted from the day! Massimo was our lead photographer (with Ryan as co-photog) and I could not recommend them both enough! My husband and I (and our bridal party) felt so comfortable working them and they truly contributed to making our wedding day even more special! Choosing Emma Cleary was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we are so thrilled with our photos :)

Visit my Instagram for contact info and more photography! — ErinWholleyPhotography • Weddings are a culmination of love, life, happiness, family history, commitment, art, and so much more. My love for photography and the importance it plays in remembering cherished moments spans decades. Photographs are one of the only tangible items you receive after your wedding day (aside from the memories) to help you relive this time for the rest of your days. I will hype you up all day long to make sure you are enjoying every aspect of your day with your partner— that’s truly what it’s all about!

Choosing Erin for our wedding was probably the best decision we made in the 2 1/2 years we spent engaged. The difference with Erin is that she’s not just another wedding vendor; she became part of our friend group and family. We loved her so much for our engagement photos that we flew her down to North Carolina for the weekend because we couldn’t imagine anyone else capturing our day. Erin goes above and beyond in every way and that’s simply because she cares. She was originally planning to join our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks to capture an hour or two, but she stayed the whole night. I’ve been in arguably too many weddings, and what sets Erin apart is that she doesn’t just take the classic posed shots and move on to the next. She focuses on the tiny little moments in-between each shot. One of the best pieces of advice she gave me was to stick by my husband, Tom, as much as possible. Because of that, the candid, emotional moments she captured are truly priceless and are my favorite photos! Perhaps too personal, but we both had major loses in our families right around the same time, and both before our own weddings. When it came time for our vows, having someone behind the camera (and even in front of it consoling us when we couldn’t stop crying - see photos attached) made a hard moment even more special. Erin isn’t just a photographer; she’s a friend, hype girl, and someone who will care about your wedding as much as you do. I recommend her to everyone I know.
